Eyelashes

I blinked today

and 4 eyelashes fell on my cheek

giving up the safety

of their roots

now toxic and unwelcoming

I blinked today

and 2 eyelashes fell on my cheek

releasing themselves from the swamp

that has become my body

I blinked today

and 3 eyelashes fell on my cheek

stoic reminders

of the dying of me
